The guy who seems to be a magician played a scene from the movie “Mersal” and said that the production house of the film owe him 4 lakh rupees for his work in the movie.

Then he uploaded another video of him talking to an anonymous person from the Thenandal Studios. He enabled his phone call in speaker mode and talks to that particular person from Thenandal Studios in the video.
In the video he talks in the phone call saying “You said you were going to pay me on 26th of November, but it is December 6th today” to which the receiver answers that he couldn’t do it but will surely clear the payment in two days.
Thenandal studio’s still have not paid. There are many more people from the mersal team chasing these crooks pic.twitter.com/slrcckTib9

Vijay has been honoured with the Best International Actor Award by the UK-based International Achievement Recognitions Awards (IARA) for this movie. The IARA is not the first international accolade for the Atlee directorial. Mersal also won the Best Foreign Language Film at the 4th edition of the National Film Awards UK 2018 in April.
Now the magician in his twitter account said that he has been forced to hire lawyer in Chennai from Canada to get his payment back.
